Enabling storage autoscaling allows RDS to automatically adjust the storage capacity based on the application's needs. When the storage usage exceeds a predefined threshold, RDS will automatically increase the allocated storage without requiring manual intervention or causing downtime. This ensures that the RDS database has sufficient disk space to handle the increasing storage requirements.

RDS Storage Auto Scaling continuously monitors actual storage consumption, and scales capacity up automatically when actual utilization approaches provisioned storage capacity. Auto Scaling works with new and existing database instances. You can enable Auto Scaling with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console. There is no additional cost for RDS Storage Auto Scaling. You pay only for the RDS resources needed to run your applications. https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2019/06/rds-storage-auto-scaling/#:~:text=of%20the%20rest.-,RDS%20Storage%20Auto%20Scaling,-continuously%20monitors%20actual

A is the best answer. B will not work for increasing disk space, it only improve the IO performance. C will not work because it will cause downtime. D is too complicated and need much operational effort.
